Terry Fator

Terry Fator might be the most successful ventriloquist alive. He might even be the most successful ventriloquist of the 21st century, unless the ghost of Edgar Bergen decides to possess Jeff Dunham. But it’s not just his gift for throwing his voice that made Fator the victor of the second season of America’s Got Talent and a top-selling staple of the Vegas strip. These triumphs resulted from him being a consummate entertainer, a showman who shatters preconceptions about talking dummies. When Fator first took the TV stage with his handmade puppet friends, judge David Hasselhoff scoffed, “Oh no, a ventriloquist.” But seconds later, the Hoff was eating crow cheeseburgers as audiences fell for good ol’ puppet Walter T. Airedale’s take on Garth Brooks and Winston the Turtle’s Kermit the Frog-esque cover of Roy Orbison’s “Crying.” Fator’s latest tour sees him taking a break from his current tenure in Vegas, where they even named a theater after him. The hilarious and melodious live act shows why Pierce Morgan praised him as “a great impersonator, a great singer, and a great comedian.”

Arena Theatre

At Arena Theatre, nobody sits farther than 60 feet from the show. Most concertgoers who’ve squinted their ways through major concerts at other venues can attest that the in-the-round seating arrangement and revolving stage are causes for celebration. And the stars have noticed. Since the 1970s, the state-of-the-art venue has attracted a long list of legendary performers including Willie Nelson, Tom Jones, and Aretha Franklin. While their golden vocal chords ring through the stellar acoustics, fans sink into comfy seats, savor a flashy light system, and discard their unnecessary opera glasses.
